We will. Just not to someone threatening imminent conflict.

This is most certainly not the bulk of your army. That, we both know.

How have they threatened you, 17 little old French Regiments of Crack Voltigeurs threatened you, and your Big Old Fleet and your long in the tooth red coats, get outta 'ere

Well actually it is the bulk of the 2nd Voltigeur Army

Lord Beta,

it is an accepted duty that when you rename a unit, you leave in their designation as set down in the Holy of Holies, the civlopedia

So now you want my lads to move so you can hunt down a Prussian Army you have already crippled, interesting.

The army "crippled" itself, by attacking and killing British units. OF COURSE we want revenge!

Why do you not just crush the Prussian force at your border first, then push through?

In time, if they too insist on dying.

Or if not them, what of smashing my Voltigeurs then? i think you have noticed that it will cost you big time to crush the bulk of the French Army.

Beta, Chris told me the numbers are not enough and he wants the full "Frigate", "Man-O-War", etc. Please, do the same.

King Modo

[roleplay]Yes, Prussia has declared war on Britain. We have no quarrels with the Russians to our east, who were our compatriats in the recent conflict against the Austrians. To that end, and as a show of good faith and peaceful intentions, we are willing to grant the Russians additional capured Austrian territory. [/roleplay]

Modo - my apologies for the lack of combat reports. I did not realize we were doing this.

From what I recall - you had 4 units on the attacked tile. Artillery bombarded two and both hit. And then my cavalry army defeated your infantry unit - which as you can see, did no go easily.

As to your vessel, it was bombarded by artillery from land until down to one HP, and then defeated by the wounded ship now on the tile.

As to naming vessels, I'm not sure what I am missing here - my frigates are 2-2-4's, etc. I thought this sort of information was clearly visible. Help me on this one please. I have no problem renaming them, I am just not sure of the benefit.

[roleplay] I regret that we are at war, but such is life. I wish you well, nonetheless, and may your troops fight with honour. Sincerely ...Crown Prinz Beta of Prussia. [/roleplay]

You have been quite an untrustworthy component since the whole matter of the "pirates" that sunk my frigates

oh they were not yours were they?

So tread lightly your Majestic Highness. Hate to see you with mud on your... shoes old salt.

[Modo44]

How conveniently you sit, blocking the only viable way of surrounding the evil Prussians and killing them off quickly. Just happens to be the way to get to that damaged army. How very close in case you wanted to mount a combined attack. A very lucky coincidence indeed.

You will note, that the payment has been suspended, just in case.

[Paddy]

temper temper

you are the one complaining

then you do not like the replies

fuuny old chap, did ya not get ya socks washed this morning?

well if you so want a war, why have you not started one

or was that last post your attempt at declaring war?

[Modo44]

This is getting boring. Bring it on or shut up already.

[Paddy]

I am not at all sure what you are on about Lord Modo

You huff and puff all over the shop, just like an overweight butcher trying to slaughter the winter pig

Has France declared war, No

Have you been attacked by France, NO

Have we been honourable with you in several dealings, including the recent transaction in Palmi, seems like you never cared.

You do remember how the ships had to be moved, we do, and we remember you did not pay on time...

and here we go again, hufff hufff hufff and pufff

HR Puff-in-stuff would be quite proud of your antics and carrying on.

So you have been attacked by the Prussians have you, sure you did not attack them? you might want to check that out, considering how many other things you have gotten wrong and upside down lately.

As to my young Voltigeur Army, do they offend you and your rabble that sit near by... I do not see my lads in your territory, can you show where they have attacked you, or entered your area?

I think not

[Modo44]

France did not attack at all.

We lost one Redcoat and one Man-O-War to the Prussians, who did not give a friggin battle report. I do not know the Prussian losses.

British units have retreated to cities, so they are not visible on the screenie.

[Ljube-ljcvetko]

Is this a plot by France and Prussia to capture the British lands on the Continent? This sneak-attack tactic is deplorable.

What casualties have the British suffered?
Have the French attacked already?

[Modo44]

Bad intelligence, eh?

This shows the British-Prussian border south of Vejle. 17 French Voltigeurs on the left. 5 Cuirassiers, 11 Fusilliers, and 2 Cannons in the Prussian stack on the right. And that Prussian Army, that got clobbered by British units (moved away form the border, as you can see).

After the latest news from France, and Prussia declaring war, I can only assume you two have worked all along to attack Britain. Or am I missing something?

By the way, one British Man-O-War was sunk too, and a Prussian fleet sits where it was last turn...

[Paddy]

wow, do you have a pic you could post?

[Ljube-ljcvetko]

I didn't notice that fact at all.

[Modo44]

Prussia attacked Britain. One Redcoat Regiment was lost, and at least one Prussian Army heavily damaged.

I see a huge stack of French and Prussian units on my border in the Netherlands, so I expect they want war.

Russia is at war with Prussia now - a consequence of the MPP with Britain.
